CVE-2023-4527

22
FAUCET Score

CVE-2023-4527 is a medium-severity vulnerability in glibc affecting products like Fedora, GNU, NetApp, and Red Hat. It allows for potential stack content disclosure and system crashes when getaddrinfo is called with AF_UNSPEC and no-aaaa mode, and a large DNS TCP response is received. The attack requires high complexity, is network-based, and can lead to partial confidentiality loss and high availability impact (CVSS 6.5). There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
